• Russia appears to be targeting journalists with spyware known as Pegasus.

  • Pegasus is a “zero-click” software, hacking phones by sending texts that don’t need to be opened.

  • The software has targeted dozens of journalists, activists, and politicians in recent years.

    This is just false.

    Pegasus is not a “zero click software” which does not really mean anything. It’s a spyware

    If you don’t have physical access to an unlocked device you need to exploit a vulnerability to install it. And what a lucky day, Apple has again failed to solve their zero click vulnerability around ImageIO and the sandbox of iMessages. This type of vulnerability has been recurrent for Apple products

      I don’t really get what you’re trying to say but I do wonder if maybe an internal apple employee is somehow working with the company that makes Pegasus and that’s why they continue to have exploits.
